Battery life is good, I use it with the wifi off and only had to charge it once, and I read a full book on it.
I haven’t played with the handwriting recognition yet, let me take a look and I’ll report back.

I bought a Mobiscribe recently, for the same reasons. It’s an eReader with an eink display, but it’s an Android tablet. I installed F-Droid, and then NextCloud (to access my ebooks) and Librera Reader. I also use it for listening to podcasts (via Bluetooth, since it’s an Android tablet) and taking notes with the stylus.
Staying true to the centuries-old library concept, only one patron at a time can rent a digital copy of a physical book for a limited period.
So sad that we solved the problem of knowledge scarcity, and because of greed we need to add it back artificially.
There’s was a scanner app that I loved, for Android. Turned into a subscription, even though most people use it less than once a month and even though the app was basically complete and never got updates.
There’s a big conflict of interest in dating apps: if you’re successful you stop using the app, and of course the company doesn’t want that.
It depends on what you mean by better. Faster? More user friendly? More versatile?
ffmpeg is written by Fabrice Bellard, who’s one of the most underrated programmers in the world (he also wrote QEMU). It’s probably the best tool out there, still actively maintained, and most commercial apps are probably using it under the hood for any kind of conversion.
That’s just for colorectal cancer. It also affects other types of cancer (like breast cancer) and increases the chance of dying from heart disease considerably.
Cow farts are methane, which are a more aggressive form of greenhouse gas, though with shorter lifespan.
I like supporting small business. 🙂
Also, depending on the VPS provider, you might get a lot of sites blocked. When I ran a VPN on Digital Ocean I couldn’t access USPS, OpenAI, imgur, and couldn’t leave comments on YouTube. I assume because of too many bots running on DO.
They do that upstream, so there’s nothing you can do on your router to change that.
One solution I’ve used in the past is run hoppy.network to get a public IP (it’s basically a VPN). Then your home computer has all ports open on that IP, since everything goes through an encrypted tunnel.
Related: every time you shuffle a deck of cards you get a sequence that has never happened before. The chance of getting a sequence that has occurred is stupidly small.
Twist and Shout is not by the Beatles.
My favorite comment about this from Mastodon: “X is just a sans serif swastika”.
I think so! I think at some point all my friends switched to WhatsApp and Messenger.
I used it, I actually ran my own server under my domain. It was nice to be able to talk to people using Gchat from my account.
I work on a big open source project with hundreds of committers, so quite often — I’d say a few times a week, maybe a third of my PRs.
I’m 45. I spent the weekend playing video games with my 43-year-old girlfriend and her nephew. When we thought she had COVID I bought a couple games that were online multiplayer so we could play together while she was isolated.
You just need to find the right people for you. Put “I love video games” in your Tinder profile, and this will weed out people who think that’s for kids. Put yourself out there as you are, and it will attract the people who like you for who you are.
And makes the world a better place.
Ok, I played with it and it seems like the recognition only works in the “Notes” app. It doesn’t work as a general text input for applications.
It works pretty well, though. You select the text with the pen by circling it, and then you can copy it to the clipboard or replace the drawing with the actual text.
